Those are called Tsipoura in Greek. It's something like a sea bream, but is called Dorade Royale officially in North America. I call it a sea bream. Lol.

Meet the Gilt-head bream...

One of my favorite fish from the NC coast. The Spot......

Never tried it, but I do love some fish....trying to figure out what that is in Greek.


We get these EU Baracuda when they are relatively small (15-20 inches) and split them down the center vertically nose-to-tail until you can open them like a book. We lay them in the sun for a few hours with a light coat of salt. Rinse them and throw them on the grill with some oregano until they get some grill marks and are nice and hot.

Douse them with a red wine vinegar and oil, and YUM YUM...

I thought of the Spot, when you posted about the Sea Bream. I'd bet they are related.......but then, we are all related.

Or as the Lakota say...... Mitákuye Oyás'iŋ

Afternoon fellers! Just spent some time with eBay seller dandrikop in Athens today. Picked up some saw parts for the 026's and the 550XP.

If you guys haven't ordered from him on eBay, check it out. Pretty good prices and shipping, plus decent parts selection.

I've lost track of how many parts
I've bought from him
He's usually cheaper than anyone in the us.
And has hard to find parts too

They may be related. I see fish like those when I'm snorkeling.

I translated that and it reminds me of a word the Greeks use. They don't mean the same, but many times its words like these one has to live to experience, because they don't translate or have an equal in other languages.

The word Filotimo is used here to describe a feeling between humans, where one wants to help or give to the other from human nature. It doesn't include feelings of generosity for gain, popularity or recognition. Filo means friend. Timo means to honor. So, you can translate it as honor friend, or to honor your friend.

Awesome stuff!

He's referred to as the "Greek" by many who buy from him on the forum. I've a few items from him that helped me out on projects.

@Mastermind @Jon1212 Where's the monitoring on this. We can be chastised for racial and ethic posts but this post calls a young lady a hoe because she has an Air Force uniform. The DOD has plenty of "plays well with others" classes and this guy needs all of them. If he is still active duty a post like that could earn him a promotion to civilian ahead of schedule. The toughest marines and special forces never worry about what sort of "chair" the A10 and F16 drivers are sitting in. Sorry you're in pain right now but that post was out of line.

I proudly served as an Air Force F-16/ F-117 and F-22 mechanic. Had a lot of grateful Army and Marine guys come up and shake my hand and tell me thanks because the fact that my airplane and pilots dropped bombs when they did, saved their lives. Those were the guys that saw me busting butt to keep jets in the air, so that all our guys could come back safe. Got a daughter in the Army too. She's infantry.

Went to some mexican friends Saturday night for a party.
They had Pasola’ and killer margaritas.
I should have married me a senioretta.
They had another drink I can’t pronounce. It was coffee jello blended with milk cocoa and vanilla with tequila. Wow good.

I missed this thread. Buncha fuggin miscreants.

Time for a little soul baring......I'm among my friends here.

Running over my Felicia really messed me up guys. Then I had to put her down, and bury her. Add to that.....I watched my wife cry for days over it. I'm doing better now.......but still not great.
